Days 1 & 2: Royal Livingstone, Livingstone, Zambia

Upon your arrival in Zambia, and after clearing customs and immigration on your Southern African Safari, you will be met by a representative and assisted onto your scheduled road transfer from Livingstone Airport to The Royal Livingstone Hotel.

For the more discerning traveller in search of luxury, extravagance and sheer indulgence, there can be no better place than the Royal Livingstone. Set in the lush riverine belt and touching the banks of the great Zambezi River, this earthly paradise provides a serene haven at the most magical place in Africa.

It's a place that will ignite your heart and soothe your soul, where you can enjoy the incredible majesty of Africa on your Southern Africa Safari and witness one of the greatest natural wonders of the world. The Royal Livingstone captures the charms of a bygone era, indulges your every fantasy and enables you to experience a new level of utter comfort and sophistication at the Victoria Falls.

The Royal Livingstone is the ideal place to stay for delegates and businesspeople making use of the outstanding conference facilities of The Falls Convention Centre nearby.

Twenty-four hour room service is available with a butler at your service between 07:00 and 23:00 everyday. Your butler will manage your room service, organise valet and laundry, shoe polishing, call for your golf cart to move you about the resort in comfort and be available for all your other needs.

Traditional High Tea is served daily in the lounge under the watchful eye of Dr David Livingstone himself. As the day fades and the lengthening shadows bring cool relief, you can wander down to the sundeck to marvel at the grand sweep of the watery horizon burnt gold by the sinking sun, whilst sipping sundowners in the most romantic of settings.

Later on, as millions of tiny silver lights garland the dome of the night sky, it's time to treat yourself to a romantic private dinner on your balcony, where the soft gentle glow of old-fashioned oil lamps and the serenade of crickets are reminders that you are truly in the heart of Africa. Or, dine in the Royal Livingstone Hotel dining room, where you'll find a combination of old-world savoir-faire and contemporary sophistication.

Here, you are invited to choose between dining inside, under softly lit crystal chandeliers, or on the veranda, where the cooling river breeze gently stirs the night air. Special 'candle-lit' dinners can be arranged under the star-studded skies for Honeymooners and guests who celebrate anniversaries and other special occasions.

While parents are rejuvenating body and soul, children are welcome to experience the many delights and surprises offered by the 'Happy Hippo Club' located at the Zambezi Sun.

This is the unique promise of The Royal Livingstone – Zambia's most spectacularly diverse wilderness experience that offers exquisite style and intimacy against the backdrop of wild Africa in all her splendour.
